Summary

I personally know people who were advised by r shlome zalman auerbach to enlist .
They weren’t young and they were married.

Is that any indication towards enlistment of young bachurim ?
Definitely not.
RSZ’A is on public record against the enlistment of yeshiva bachurim.

But – did RSZ’A consider enlistment as a blanket issur ,in force even when there is no chashash of losing one’s religion ?

clearly not .

Obvious that RSZ’A did not consider service in the IDF as a blanket yehareig veal ya’avor due to the oaths.
